"Painted in a custom mix of General Finishes Coastal Blue Milk Paint and Argentine Pearl Effects(metallic silver). The inside was painted in Alabaster. Navy is always a favorite!"
"This custom piece turned out so pretty!
Do you like to mix colors to make something new or do you keep it simple and use colors as-is?
I'm a lover of mixing and making something new!
This is two parts General Finishes Coastal Blue and 1 part Argentine Pearl Effects. It creates the perfect shimmer."

This antique cabinet was given a fresh new look. After stripping and priming, I painted it in a custom blend to create this lovely fresh light grey. The interiors were treated to a fresh stain using Antique oak. For the stencil I used Pearl Effects in Argentine pearl, on both sides of the cabinet, and also used Pearl Effects to highlight corners and edging. The handles were brightened using silver Run N buff. To finish off I sealed with High Performance Top Coat, and this lovely Lady was...

With all of the details on this coffee table I knew I wanted to do something with lots of layers. First I painted the base in Driftwood Gray, a nice medium gray color. Next I added a topcoat preparing it for the glaze. I used pitch black glaze effects to get in all the little areas and make them pop. For the final step I used the Argentine Pearl Effects along with the pitch black glaze to layer a texture on the entire piece. I used a short stubby brush to pounce the products on the...

Foil adhesive applied randomly on edges, legs and designs so that the silver leaf looks like it is peeling off. Amazing!!!!

This glamerous buffet was transformed by Simply Loved by Julia using General Finished Snow White Milk Paint glazed with Argentine Pearl Pearl Effects and sealed with High Performance Top Coat in Satin.
Reblessed, LLC says "Pearl Effects are such a sophisticated way to add a metallic look to any item. We've used ours on furniture, lamps, picture frames, furniture trim, artwork, decor, and more. They can be applied as a solid metallic for a more bold "dipped" look or as a glaze for a more subtle look. We generously applied the Argentine Pearl and the Champagne Pearl over the Driftwood Milk Paint as a glaze. We then decided to add the Van Dyke Brown glaze over it to give the silver tones more...
